If so, you should be able to re-download those games through your account once you'v switched harddrives.. They're are in you download list under account management.
@braedon218 are your ps3 game data,trophies and things you have download from psn saved in you ps3 system....if not do you know a way to transfer my 60gb hard disk's drives data to my new 500 gb hard disk drive?? thanks :-)
i got a 500gb hard drive from a laptop and put it in ps3 ( i seen a vid on youtube) but it says it wont load becouse it dosnt have V3.72 ? i try format it in the ps3 with ps3 factory reset and it still dont work .. any 1 no y ...put old 1 back in 80gb aha its full
ummmmmmm i need help. i don't have a external hardrive. i was thinking can i buy a new hardrive and put it into my friends ps3 then transfer it my ps3's memory into his then when it done take the new hardrive outta my friends's ps3 and put it back to mine?
Hey guys I need some help, basically I know what to do and whatnot but the only problem is, is that I don't know where to find a hard drive. I know I need a SATA 2.5" 5400rpm but like I really don't care for ordering online, so i dunno where to get one like from a store. I think I'm going to go check out a Radioshack nearby today. But by all means if you know where to get one so I don't have to order online, do tell.
"when i installed my new 320gb hard drive onto my ps3 40gb.... i keep getting a message reading need updated ver. of 3.66 or later.... so how do i update my new drive if it doesn't run?" - I wont say his name...
anyway I have the same problem...can anybody PLEASE help me??
@Amerimokkka To the best of my knowledge none of the firmware at all is stored on the HDD on the Original or the Fat model. And even if a small portion, for some odd reason is, if you do the backup utility that portion will be backed up. Besides, even if a small portion of the firmware is on the HDD, Sony should have made sure that the portion on the HDD is a useless part of the firmware. Enjoy your upgrade!
@Amerimokkka Actually I just checked, if your using a PS3 Slim model then what you need to do is get a small USB stick and put the latest software update on that drive. Plug the drive and the controller in when you first turn on the PS3 and follow the instructions. You can get the latest software by going onto Sony's PS website.
i need some urgent help, ive done exactly as the video says including backing up, but when I switched the ps3 back on after the upgrade it said it needed to format the new drive but this took ages (around 30secs - 1 min per percent) then when it said it had formated sucessfully i pressed to restart the system (as instructed)
when my ps3 restarts the logo comes on then nothing, theres just the swishy line onscreen, no icons/menu
@heavenlysword666 No you can't 1TB are too big and won't fit. The console is designed to run at 5400rpm so if you put a 7200rpm it will actually make it slower. Weird right? Anyways, thanks for the sub bro!
i have a question, i have (imation) external hard drive disk 500GB and i want to back the saves files to, i did the trophies analizing and it is finished, but there is a problem and it is telling me to (connect storage media at the save destination), WHAT TO DO ABOUT THAT PLEASE ?
Can i put new hdd in when i get an error. Well it starts over like u bought a new ps3 then ig et blue screen saying setup is defective press X to fix it. So i press X it does nothing and..does same thing over i think its the hdd?
ok..i bought i new ps3 console...and i want to get my data from the old one back on the new one, ive made no back up data, and i want to update the old hard drive software to 3.56 , the latest, and i dunno how to update the old hard drive cuz the old ps3 is broken :(
@NikerEkin If i'm not mistaken updates are stored on the NAND, thus changing hard rives won't change the update version. Just plug the 2.5 drive into your pc and copy the files over to the new one then plug it in. Should all work, probably best you read up about it though.
@gamefreak20065 no what i meant was that for example Fallout 3 doesnt let u transfer ur save data on a USB drive. so i was wondering if u do the backup data thing like he did that Fallout 3 will transfer over no problem
I just upgraded my 60gb ps3 to a 500gb seagate but ended up with 40gb of extra data? 54/55 => 367/465 which should only be 411/465. Did anyone else have this problem?
lets say that my PS3 YLOD's and as long as its not a HDD failure, can I take my HDD from the YLOD'ed PS3 and put it in another one? the reason I ask is because I already upgraded my HDD to 500 GB and I would rather not Download everything again if something were to happen to my current PS3
Got a YLOD on my 20GB (replaced with 160GB after a week) PS3 and popped my old HDD in a new slim. You have to manually go to user files / saves etc and press triangle as you would with other options in the XMB and copy it separately to a device. I was able to use a smaller thumb drive hows he using a 1TB? Isn't it FAT only for PS3 to recognize it and if so isn't FAT limited to 40GBish?
Video no longer accurate. Couldn't get it to reboot. I had to download a separate system update file and load it onto a flash drive. PS3 could then install the file from the flash drive, and then I could format the hard drive and load my backup data. Go to U.S. PlayStation site, go to the bottom of the page under "Support" choose "Knowledge Center." For the three drop down boxes choose "PS3 System" "Install & Setup" and "System Software Update." Then choose "Reinstalling the system software"
@PlasticineEffect109 Yeah, I'm actually doing this today and it was formatted to NSFT. And there wasn't the option to change it to FAT32 (only exFAT which didn't work) I proceeded to have a meltdown (since I payed so much for the thing) But a trip to the makers website gave me an installer to have FAT32 available. (The thing was, was that it did not appear as FAT32 but NSFT worked fine.) Very valuable lesson learned.
@homeboy20012009 i dnt knw, try ebay, some other site online, or i thinkk maybe best buy, not sure though, look around on google, nd yu'll find one, i found one, but i thinkk it had more
I am kind of afraid to open mine. I have never replaced a hard drive, In any of my game consoles, my Ps3 cost $500 It has a 80gb. Sure It looks easy In this video, I don't wont my ps3 to be unplayable forever. And I don't trust anyone else, to replace It either. They might damage It.
Thanks mate, was great accept no mention that I had to download new system hardware onto the hard drive and also save it in specific files for it to work.
for some reason my External drive doesn't pop up on my ps3 menu.... It's formatted so it can be detected by the ps3 but it doesn't appear can anyone help?
This was a terrible tutorial. He forgot to say the hard drive has to be max 5400 rpm and that the external harddrive must be in FAT32 format. Plus he forgot the fucking screw. Typical IGN.
you forgot the very important little blue screw... dont know about you but id rather there be no chance my drive will wiggle itself out if i decide to move my system.. just sayin
i got a external hard drive, but every time i go to back up, it says "connect storage media at save destination, what the fuck does this mean? its doin my head in!!!
What can I do if 2 of the tiny screws are stripped? I couldn't get the damn things out, and now they're stripped. Is there any way to remove them? Or can I buy a new harddrive enclosure for my ps3? Or am I just screwed?
Okay I changed the harddrive to a new one but I keep coming across some text no matter how many times it keeps restarting if it makes sense. What am I doing wrong you think?
anybody who knows about this and has done it, when he says "of course any game installs you had before or any downloaded games, youhave to do that part again" what does he mean exactly? if we purchased any DLC or games, do we have to PURCHASE them again or just download them??

As other users have said before me, this is a terrible tutorial.

This was a terrible tutorial. He forgot to say the hard drive has to be max 5400 rpm and that the external harddrive must be in FAT32 format. Plus he forgot the fucking screw. Typical IGN.

What can I do if 2 of the tiny screws are stripped? I couldn't get the damn things out, and now they're stripped. Is there any way to remove them? Or can I buy a new harddrive enclosure for my ps3? Or am I just screwed?

Okay I changed the harddrive to a new one but I keep coming across some text no matter how many times it keeps restarting if it makes sense. What am I doing wrong you think?

anybody who knows about this and has done it, when he says "of course any game installs you had before or any downloaded games, youhave to do that part again" what does he mean exactly? if we purchased any DLC or games, do we have to PURCHASE them again or just download them??

how did you format your external drive to fat32 so your ps3 could read it? x_x i'm having problems with that...
xihakuix 1 year ago
@xihakuix You need to look for a software online. cause Vista/Windows 7 dont seem to format anything over then 32GB i think.
Azard3 1 year ago
@xihakuix Get the program called "Partition Master 8". That'll do the trick.
